Have you ever looked at someone you’ve seen literally every day for years, and suddenly realize that they look nothing like you think they do? I picked up the mail from the mailbox today, and saw my sister’s graduation picture. And the longer I looked at it, the more I realized that she looked way different then I thought she did. I mean it obviously was her and looked like her, but the more I looked, the more I noticed things that were different about her until she almost seemed like a completely different person. I guess your brain sort of ignores the details of something you see every day, until you force yourself to look at it, and suddenly it you see all of the things you never noticed before. Like, for example, the fact that my sister looks like a highschool senior, as opposed to the freshman I’ve always seen in my head. The scary thing is that I’m pretty sure that this happens every time I look more closely at something than I normally do. So I’m either not very observant most of the time, or my brain is really fucking with me.
